An 83-year-old Dallas woman is being paid $3 million in a settlement of her lawsuit against a trucking company and one of its drivers over a March 2007 accident.

Helen Grosek received the settlement after attorneys delivered their opening statements in a federal court in Scranton last year, Attorney Andrew D. Bigda of Rosenn, Jenkins & Greenwald said Friday. Grosek refused comment.

According to court papers, Tony Sanders was driving a tractor-trailer owned by Panther II Transportation in Dallas in March 2007 when he struck Grosek's car. Grosek experienced a traumatic brain injury and broken bones. Police cited Sanders for running a red light, according to the lawsuit.

U.S. District Judge James M. Munley ruled if the truck driver entered the intersection without braking for a red light, he was causing a danger.
